2. Safety instructions

Read and follow the safety instructions

Before using the machine, carefully read all the safety

instructions in this manual and the warnings placed on

the machine.

Before starting work, the operator must be familiar with

all machine controls, handling devices and their

functions. It is too late to learn once work has been

started!.

to do so.

Should you have any difficulties in understanding certain

parts in this manual, please contact your KUHN dealer.

Precautions to be taken before carrying out

any operations on the machine

Before leaving the tractor or before adjusting,

maintaining or repairing the machine, disengage the

PTO drive, turn off the engine, remove ignition key and

wait until all moving parts have come to a complete stop

and apply park brake.

Introduction

The machine must only be operated, maintained and repaired by competent persons who are familiar with

machines' specifications and operation and aware of safety regulations for preventing accidents.

The operator must imperatively respect safety instructions in this manual and in the warnings posted on the

machine. The operatoris also obliged to respect current legislation concerning accident prevention, work safety

and public traffic circulation.

given by the manufacturer, and using only genuine spare parts, equipment and accessories, as recommended

by the manufacturer.

The manufacturer is not held liable for any damage resulting from machine applications other than those

specified by the manufacturer. Any use other than the designated operation is at the risk and responsibility of

Safety

Precautions to take before using the

machine

Do not wear loose clothing which could become caught

up in moving parts.

Wear the appropriate protective clothing for the work in

hand (gloves, shoes, goggles, helmet, ear defenders,

etc.).

Ensure that all operating controls (ropes, cables, rods,

etc) are placed so as they cannot be operated

unintentionally and cause damage or injury.

Before operating the machine, check tightness of nuts

and bolts, particularly on fixing elements (tines, forks,

blades, knives, etc). Retighten if necessary.

Before operating the machine, ensure that all the safety

guards are firmly in place and in good condition.

Immediately replace any worn or damaged guard.

Precautions when driving

Tractor handling, stability, performance and braking

efficiency are all affected by weight distribution, trailedor

mounted implements, additional ballast and driving

conditions. It is therefore of great importance that the

operator exercises caution in every given situation.

Groundspeed must be adapted to ground conditions as

well as to roads and paths. Always avoid abrupt changes

of direction.

Be particularly cautious when turning corners, paying

attention to machine overhang, length, height and

weight.

Never use a narrow track tractor on very uneven or

steeply sloping ground.

Never leave the tractor seat while the machine is

operating.

Carrying people or animals on the machine when

working or in transport is strictly forbidden.
